Give and Receive
May God bless you to give generously and receive abundantly.
{prayers}
Accept it
O God, open my heart to that which I shut out. Expand my acceptance of new ideas, new people, and new circumstances. Help me grow in goodness, thrive in understanding, and shine in the light of Your love.
Stick to It
O Lord, help me as I try with all my heart to stick to the principles You teach. May my way be gentle, kind, and patient. May I let go of resentment, forgive generously, and offer a hand up to those in need. Blessed are You, my teacher, my guide, my God.
Hard Places
Dear God, life hasn’t been easy, but You meet me in the hard places. Thank You for holding me in my sorrow, and celebrating with me in my joy. Blessed are You, gracious One, constant Presence.
{bible}
He made darkness His covering, His canopy around Him, thick clouds dark with water.

Proverbs 11:30
Look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
